While effective security starts with the exterior doors into a building, securing the outside perimeter alone is no longer sufficient.

The safest place to be in an active shooter incident is behind a locked door, so today it's an absolute necessity to have an interior security solution that can secure the safe spaces inside a building. BEST SHELTER is that solution. BEST SHELTER is a responsive lockdown product specifically designed for K-12 and commercial environments. It is a unique combination of code-compliant hardware and proven technology that are configured to fit a specific building and security protocol. Learn more

Gateway & Repeater

At the core of the SHELTER system is a gateway that sends signals to each door lock to initiate lockdown. With a 400-foot range, the gateway can be paired with up to eight repeaters to extend the signal range throughout a building. And with assistance from your integration resource, the SHELTER repeater can be connected to existing access control or first response alarm systems.
